    Where did you see the cheers? Maybe we’re waiting for the nightmare to end. It won’t be a pretty end but at least it’ll be an end and we can start salvaging what remains of our lives instead of still sitting in this insanity.

      I’m not sure how else to interpret “pls let today be the day” other than excited anticipation. Maybe I’m misinterpreting, and you’re right, and everyone is just saying “rip the bandaid off.” But across social media I frequently see “bubble pop when?!” type comments which I always read as something like, “Can’t wait for the bubble to pop so…” either, “this dumb tech goes away.” or “big tech gets what’s comin’ to them!” Neither of which will happen.

      Also, I know I’m just repeating myself here, but I have a lot of anxiety over this and I think it’s going to be more like a beheading than a bandaid-rip. After all the dominoes fall, I’m not sure there will be anything left to salvage.
